In this issue will be found several small advertisements for Planters Choice and Arcadia teas which are rather different to the ones these people usually have. Some of of them are \ ery catching, and we think our readers cannot help but be struck by their originality. We understand they are deservedly becoming very popular about here, which in fact is doubtless due to the exceptional merit of the teas themselves backed up by the publicity so long given them in these columns.

One of the most useful things in the house is to be bought in Te Aroha at wholesale price, ask Johnson and Wigg.— Advt.

Complaints have been made about a lot of overgrown boys hanging round the doorway of the Public Hall when socials are on, who pass remarks on the people inside. We think it is about time the door was closed, and those sort kept ontside. Last night one blackguard threw a piece of crockery up the middle of the hall and it was only by good luck that a lady was not struck. We 'would advise the local constable to pay a visit that way occasionally. In order to cope with increasing trade and to expediate the completi. n of orders we understand that Mr D. McL Wallace intends erecting a new workshop on the ground where the paintshop now stands, and the corner facing is to be ornamented with a large building which will be divided into shops. This firm has been long aud favorably known in Te Aroha for excellence of workmanship in any orders entrusted to them, and that their industry has been rewarded is evidenced by the number of hands employed in the factory in order to keep pace with the work coming in. After having experienced very bad weather for their previous socials, the Oddfellows were favoured last night with fine weather, aud a very large at tendance of dancers, and a very enjoyable evening was spent. The music, by the Te Aroha Trio was all that could be desired, and as usual, the floor was in perfect order. During the evening extras were played by Misses Ryan, Faes and Stanley. Mr Benny officiated as M.C. in a capable manner. The Oddfellows deserve credit for the ’way they have carried on their socials, regardless of the weather, and it was very satisfactory to see them greeted with a full house. A word of praise is due to the energetic secretary , Mr F. Harris, for the way he has worked the socials up. Men’s pure New Zealand wool underclothing at sale prices at L. Cullen’s, Te Aroha.—Advt. In a Wellington case of theft from warehouses by heads of departments, where both offenders were admitted to probation, it was stated that the system of theft between heads of departments was easy to accomplish and very hard to detect. Whitcon was a man worth £SOOO. He had stated that if he sold all his property and put the money into good securities it would bring him m about £250 per annum, and a few days ago he refused £3OOO for certain property. He had a farm which brought him in £BO, and also several small properties at the Lower Hutt, and also a su’ stantial balance at the bank. His salary was £5 10s per week, and he had a £4OO motor car now on the way out from England. And yet be and another went in for an elaborate system of fraud. Just landed a big shipment of sewing machines both hand and treadle, ballbearing, and otherwise, no middleman profits, direct from manufactures. Johnson and Wigg. —Advt. The average farm boy (says a contemporary) little realises his opportunities. This is an age of agricultural development. The dawn of a new era is upon us, and the new era is agriculture in its widest and broadest sense. Farming has become a science and its doors are open wide to the best healthy occupation, and contentment. If young men could realisethe openings that ai e offered we are sure that more of them would prepare themselves for agricultural work. The country not only needs more agricultural, teachers, investigators, managers of farms, etc., but it needs an increased number of intelligent and painstaking farmers. It needs theory combined with practice. In short it needs more applied agricultural science.

THE ‘ L.K.G.” ENDORSED. The advantages resulting from the use of the milking machine were clearly set out in a very able paper read at the dairy conference during the recent Palmerston Winter Show by Mr J. BurtYeale. of Woodville, who uses two “L.K.G.” machines. He stated that the machines make dairying more of a pleasure and less of a drudgery, aud that they solve the labour problem for those having to employ for large herds. Mr Voile’s experience is borne out by leading dairymen throughout Australia, New Zealand, North America, and Great. Britain, where hundreds of these machines are now in use.
